It's officially Snow Flea time, spring must be around the distant corner.
Today it will be up to +10 C, and the little springtails are crawling up to the snowy surface to eat algae, fungi, and organic litter. There are so many that sometimes the boot prints in the snow are black with them.
Their bodies contain antifreeze, making them very cold tolerant.

I took a break from politics to do a little prep work in my courtyard garden and discovered a little joy.

The plant pot this chrysalis is attached to is not one that I brought into my garage to protect from freezes. So I am not sure how that chrysalis survived to hatch. Can chyrsalises survive freezing temperatures to allow a butterfly to hatch in spring? Or ???

#Nature is a mystery.

A newly hatched butterfly still clings to the chrysalis that it hatched from. The chrysalis is attached to edge of a plant pot and there is some green (and brown) dianthus leaves growing in it.

Exclusive: I've uncovered the "programming error" that Paddy Power claim caused their £1,000,000 jackpot was worth only £20k!

The code was:

printf(winnings);

if (winnings > CEO_MONTH_BONUS) winnings = CEO_MONTH_BONUS;

It should have been:

if (winnings > CEO_MONTH_BONUS) winnings = CEO_MONTH_BONUS;

printf(winnings);

I have a small balcony and been growing various vegetables in pots and bags.

This year, I'm cutting back before selling the apartment later. So I just growing some leafy vegetables, leak, garlic and strawberries.

Sadly I've seen a lot of them disappear and I've been unable to find any snails or slugs until today when I picked up a few leaves from a lettuce to make sandwiches..

And theryit was, the little slug hidden between the leaves waiting to get hungry and eating up one of my last remaining lettuce.

I have no idea how to get rid of them.

We have a HUGE update going out Thursday night at my company that will be going to 225+ clients across the nation.

Yesterday, we were sent the files so we could update and test. We did, and myself and a couple of others found a pretty major bug. We of course reported it and after several hours of testing different things, we were told, oh by the way, this isn't the version that we were sending to the clients.

Wait, what? So you sent us a different version than what the clients were going to get?

HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!?!
